Regression

 

At times we can generate a regression equation to explain outcomes. For example, an employee’s salary can often be explained by their pay grade, appraisal rating, education level, etc. What variables might explain or predict an outcome in your department or life? If you generated a regression equation, how would you interpret it and the residuals from it?

 

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts. Respond to at least two classmates by commenting on how this information might be used to make business decisions.
